Changes in diet quality across life transitions from adolescence to early adulthood: a latent growth analysis.

Diet quality remained suboptimal throughout adolescence and improved across early adulthood. Targeted dietary interventions are welcome for young people who leave their parental home early or do not enter a structured school or workplace environment and for addressing sex differences in diet quality associated with family-related life transitions.

Computer vision-assisted dietary assessment through mobile phones in female youth in urban Ghana: validity against weighed records and comparison with 24-h recalls.

FRANI-assisted dietary assessment accurately estimates nutrient intake and performed as accurately as 24HR in female youth in Ghana. Although improvements in computer vision-assisted diet assessment are possible, emerging evidence on FRANI suggests its readiness for scale-up.

Cross-context equivalence and agreement of healthy diet metrics for national and global monitoring: a multicountry analysis of cross-sectional quantitative 24-hour dietary intake studies.

Composite metrics weighting both healthy and unhealthy food groups have limited cross-context equivalence, because a wide range of diets can theoretically return similar scores. Healthy food group (sub)metrics performed comparably, likely indicating strong underlying construct validity (i.e., dietary diversity and nutrient adequacy). For national and global monitoring, refinement and validation of unhealthy food group metrics (i.e., moderation) is recommended to complement healthy food group metrics.

Diet quality during pregnancy, adolescent brain morphology, and cognitive performance in a population-based cohort.

Diet quality during pregnancy was associated with structural brain alterations in the offspring, which partly explained the relation between prenatal dietary patterns and cognitive outcomes in children.

Evaluating the connection between diet quality, EpiNutrient intake and epigenetic age: an observational study.

Our findings corroborate the hypothesis that nutrition plays a pivotal role in influencing epigenetic homeostasis, especially DNAm, thereby contributing to individual health trajectories and the pace of aging.

Longitudinal evaluation of iron status during pregnancy: a prospective cohort study in a high-resource setting.

Methods In a prospective cohort of primiparous women with low-risk, singleton pregnancies in Ireland, iron [ferritin, soluble transferrin receptors (sTfR), total body iron (TBI)] and inflammatory markers (C-reactive protein, α-glycoprotein) were measured at 3 study visits: 15, 20, and 33 wk of gestation. Women with anemia (hemoglobin 60 μg/L.

Liver Transpl

Management of portal vein thrombosis in liver transplant candidates.

While the feasibility of TIPS placement diminished with the presence of portal cavernoma or chronic portal vein thrombosis, the introduction of novel interventional radiological techniques to recanalize the portal venous axis through transplenic, transmesenteric and/or transhepatic routes is revolutionizing this landscape. These advancements achieve TIPS placement and recanalization in 90-100% of patients, warranting consideration in cirrhotic patients with chronic PVT for whom LT would otherwise be contraindicated or when physiological anastomosis is not feasible.

Outcomes following use of hepatitis B surface antigen positive liver allografts in hepatitis B surface antigen negative recipients.

Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed no difference in survival when compared to al other liver transplants performed at the institution during the same period (p=0.5, HR=1.6, CI=0.4-6.5). Based on these findings, the use of HBsAg+ liver donors appears to be safe; however, continued follow-up is required to understand further risks associated with the use of HBsAg+ liver allografts.

The impact of recipient hypernatremia on pediatric liver transplantation outcomes.

Corrected hypernatremia resulted in decreased mortality compared to uncorrected hypernatremia. Recipient hypernatremia is an important indicator of disease processes and a predictor of poor post-transplantation mortality outcomes.

Early detection of pancreatic cancer: Study design and analytical considerations in biomarker discovery and early phase validation studies.

Multisite and multidisciplinary collaboration can facilitate study design strategies in this lethal but low incidence disease and streamline the path from biomarker discovery to clinical use. Improvements in analytical and experimental design methods could help accelerate biomarker evaluation through the phases of biomarker development.
